Not the best
Dont like to complain as Lauren seemed a nice person, but here goes.
Only met Lauren at the initial visit and a few claims got me to agree to use you
1 I was told that the divorce would cost between £1k and £3k. I know this cannot be judged accurately but I did as much of the copying etc as I could myself and got a friend to ferry as much paperwork between me and your office as possible. I also answered much of my exs solicitors questions and requests by myself
2 I was told that in most cases any pensions are generally split pretty equally with a few things such as age and closeness to retirement etc taken into account, so I went along knowing my ex had a decent pension, expecting a good share of it. However it turned out that contributions before the relationship started are a grey area, and also her NHS pension, though she had paid into it for years, seemed almost untouchable. Laura wanted me to pay out circa an extra 3k to get a pensions expert to look into it, but after asking was told there was no guarantee I would get any of her pensions let alone the 60 odd% that was mentioned initially. I was scared by this and didnt really have the £3k to gamble with, so had to haggle what I could directly with my ex. I ended up getting 40% of my exs private pension and the NHS pension was kept by her as well as the 60%.
This left a sour taste really and I felt I had been rather misled on the pension scenario as well as the costs being much higher than estimated for not a great deal of benefit to me.
Also it seemed like Lauren washed her hands of me when I refused to go with the £3k pension advice and I was left to use my financial advisor to chase the 40% payment, I also had to get the news the divorce had gone through from my ex, and Lauren was not in touch about it for a good couple of months, I just thought that wasnt right really

Civil Partnership
What I thought was going to be a straightforward end to my Civil Partnership did not materialise, thankfully, I had Lauren. She made it very easy to understand the legal aspects and explained my options at every part of the process. I got more than the result I expected and I will be forever grateful for guiding me through which turned out to be an unnecessarily long dissolution. But we got there in the end. I would highly recommend Banner Jones and I will be using their will service shortly.

Lauren …… Thank you .
Throughout the last four and a half years of very difficult divorce proceedings I have been very lucky to have had the support of Lauren . It has been an emotional ,scary, frustrating journey but with Lauren’s professionalism, and enduring tenacity I got my perfect outcome . Always responding to or finding the answers to any queries promptly ,ringing me back ASAP .etc. I cannot speak highly enough of Lauren who is approachable , explains things clearly and precisely without rushing you and making sure you understand and are happy with the answers and information given. I couldn’t have done this without the support Lauren has given to me .
